Megan and Beau dive into chapter seven with a massive to-do list, there are bull's heads to unpack, portraits to hang, housekeepers to cut, prophecies to fulfill. If there's anything this chapter imparts it's that Jessica's work is never done.

We are really getting frustrated with people NOT LISTENING TO JESSICA. A lady can't live on proverbs alone.

With such a short, infuriating chapter this week, Megan and Beau fill the time by dragging the 90's, talking husbands and horror movies, their mutual thirst for Prince Nuada from Hellboy II: The Golden Army, and the sartorial choices of Deanna Troi.

This week Megan and Beau are slightly more subdued as they unpack this Shai Hulud-sized chapter. In this episode they ask such questions as "are the Bene Gesserit the 23 and Me of the future?" and "Is Gurney in the Beyhive?" but most importantly they'll sympathize with the water-fat-shaming Dr Kynes as he repeatedly asks "WHO IS THIS KID??"

This week Megan and Beau discuss Chapter Sixteen, The Problem with Leto, horribly awkward toasts, Paul's continuing virginity, sparkly outfits, rabbit tongues in special sauce, and why Jack White would have made a better Gurney Halleck. 

Megan and Beau are back to talk about a chapter that is almost as frustrating as it is satisfying. Lady Jessica proves herself to be the HBGIC by dealing with Drunk Duncan before giving Thufir Hawat a glorious set-down and we're all left wondering if there are ANY grown men in this book.

This week Megan and Beau discuss the short but pivotal chapter eighteen. The Atreides traitor is revealed and Duke Leto gets some quick dental work. Megan and Beau talk bratty teen Heroes who treat their moms like garbage, why Lady Jessica (and Gabrielle Deschain) deserved better. Also cookies, toys, and more discussion about the Forsyte Saga that probably any other Dune Podcast! 

This action-packed chapter starts off with a bang...ing talk about Kyle Reese in The Terminator! Beau has had it with Teenaged Messiah's and Megan has a lot to say about Folk Horror. Oh and Jessica is once again the biggest badass in the room and completely unappreciated for it. Also, we read your questions and attempt to answer them as best we can!
